Prepare Ingredients:
Measure all ingredients and have your blender ready. If using coconut milk, shake it well to combine the cream and liquid. -
Blend Base:
In a high-speed blender, add almond milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, sweetener, protein powder (if using), and vanilla extract. -
Add Ice:
Toss in 4–6 ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Check consistency—add more ice for a thicker shake, or a splash more almond milk if it’s too thick. -
Taste & Adjust:
Taste your shake. If you prefer sweeter, add a little more erythritol. For extra chocolate punch, add a teaspoon more cocoa powder and blend again. -
Serve:
Pour into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream, extra shredded coconut, or sugar-free chocolate shavings for a decadent touch. -
Optional Tips:
-
For a frozen version, freeze almond milk cubes and blend instead of regular ice.
-
Add 1 tsp MCT oil or 1 tbsp almond butter for extra keto-friendly fats.
-
Use unsweetened cocoa nibs as a crunchy topping.
